The end looks to be in sight for Manchester United as they close in on the signing of Frenkie de Jong.
Nearly two months on from opening talks with Barcelona over a potential deal, the finish line is finally in sight. The MEN reported this morning that United have agreed deals to sign De Jong and fellow Dutch international Tyrell Malacia.
It’s been a long and protracted saga for United, and no doubt one they would have preferred to get done much quicker. Their predicament has not been helped by their rivals getting in early with some big deals, causing more anxiety among supporters.
